There's nothing more annoying than pesky flyaway hairs distracting you during a workout, but luckily there are so many different fuss-free, chic styles you can try when you hit the gym. From Blake Lively to Jessica Alba, we take a look at the stars who gave us major inspiration from the red carpet – click through for the full gallery… 

Loose plait

A loose plait like Chrissy Teigen's elegant style will not only ensure your hair stays in place, but when you take it out it can leave your tresses in soft beachy waves. 

Half top knot

Supermodel Gigi Hadid is often spotted rocking this effortlessly cool and easy hairstyle – simply divide your locks into a top and bottom section, then tie the top section into a high ponytail and twist, leaving the rest of your hair down and wavy. 

High ponytail

Having a particularly intense workout? Keep your tresses off your face with a slicked back high ponytail like Khloé Kardashian – simply secure with a band and spritz hairspray to keep any flyaways at bay. 

Messy bun

Take a leaf out of Lauren Conrad's book and sweep your hair into a low, messy bun for an instantly gym-ready style. 

Low voluminous ponytail

A low ponytail is always a quick solution if you need to tie your hair back – take note from Lea Michele and slick back your locks at the roots with a spritz of hairspray to ensure that they don't budge. If you're heading out after the gym, you can keep the style and simple backcomb the bottom section for instant wow factor! 

Headbands

If you're trying to find a way to keep your fringe off your face or have layered locks, you may want to add extra hold to your look with a chic headband like Blake Lively. 

Braids

Braid hairstyles such as the one Kim Kardashian is rocking are so easy to do and are ideal for keeping hair in place, especially when you're exercising.

Top knot

This is our go-to look for minimal effort, making it ideal for the gym. To get a chic look like Nicole Scherzinger simply sweep your hair up into a high ponytail and twist into a bun. Secure with grips or a second hairband for extra hold. 

Pigtails

They might have been a childhood favourite, but pigtails can be an easy style you can wear from the gym to the office – take note from Margot Robbie and leave yours down in natural curls for instant laidback chic. 

Half updo

For a fuss-free style simply make like Jessica Alba and tie back the front sections of your locks – if your hair is too short, you can simply pin it back.
